The falling value of the pound abroad and credit crunch at home does not mean total gloom and doom for the holiday maker this year. Most travel commentators are now indicating a boom in camping holidays in the UK and caravans look likely to make a comeback this this summer.

Figures from the National Caravan Council reveal a 20 percent rise in camp site bookings for July and August, while trade in caravans is steadily rising. With many people nostalgic for seaside holidays that they remember from their childhood, it is not surprising, given the increasing costs of taking a holiday abroad, that there is now a huge demand for holidays in the UK.

One of Britain’s biggest caravan holiday companies, Haven Holidays, reports a 30 percent rise in bookings with families scrambling for places over the school half term and the main summer holiday in July and August is no different.

Is this year then, the time to look at taking a break in the UK rather than travel abroad? Well certainly worthwhile considering but the same rules apply to holidays in the UK as they do elsewhere, do make sure you are properly covered in case of emergencies.

, insurers do require you to have proof of booked accommodation for a minimum stay of normally 2 nights away for the policy to be in force so the Sunday ?trip out’ is definitely outside this definition.
